c# DbSet - Internal object association cannot be got

Question

I have the same problem of this topic. but on the association between entities.

internal virtual ICollection<Adress> Adresses { get; set; }

It works if I use like this:

public virtual ICollection<Adress> Adresses { get; set; }

How can I initialize Adresses ?

What is a difference between those two lines of code? – Ladislav Mrnka Oct 04 '11 at 10:05 — Ladislav Mrnka, Oct 04 '11 at 10:05

Entity Framework will only work with public properties. If you want to use different access modifies you should check out nHibernate.

oh! it's bad news! nHibernate is a very long to introduce in a project. – Sam Oct 04 '11 at 11:51
@Sam If you keep the `internal` modifier you won't be able to unit test also. – Eranga Oct 04 '11 at 12:07
You've right. But in my case, I really need to have this object in internal because the end-user don't need this access. – Sam Oct 04 '11 at 12:41
@Sam Consider passing DTOs to the end users – Eranga Oct 04 '11 at 14:32
Apparently, it is possible to use internal access modifiers: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7636734/c-sharp-dbset-internal-object-cannot-be-got – Frederik Gheysels Apr 20 '15 at 14:44
